Chu Li pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Then you, Guanxing Pavilion, don't have any ideas?"
"We in the Star Gazing Pavilion are just bystanders of fate, not spoilers." Li Xinghe shook his head and said: "We will not interfere with the trajectory of destiny, because it cannot be changed. This is a lesson our ancestors in the Star Gazing Pavilion paid for with their blood.
"
Chu Li smiled: "What is fate? It's just a possibility. Things in the world never change. A slight change can change the entire destiny. This is the foundation of destiny. Don't you guys in Guanxing Pavilion want to give it a try?
?”
"I don't want to." Li Xinghe shook his head.
Chu Li smiled: "I think you want to."
Li Xinghe frowned and said, "What are the orders from the Chief Manager?"
Chu Li said: "You are a smart person, and everyone in Guanxing Pavilion is also a very smart person. They should know how to do it. There is no need for me to tell you. Now I want to say that the Immortality Sect has appeared and is looking for me."
"...Okay." Li Xinghe sighed and nodded slowly.
Chu Li smiled: "The rise of the Immortality Sect is not entirely a bad thing."
"Alas..." Li Xinghe shook his head and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"It's good to go, come back as soon as possible." Chu Li said.
"Okay." Li Xinghe nodded.
After a while, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi came in from outside.
Xiao Shi said: "Why did you provoke him? He looks downcast?"
Chu Li shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a few gossips and a few knocks. Don't follow this guy. Just hit when you need to hit."
"He is so smart that I have nothing to say." Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "I don't have the ability to control him."
"That's because you have no intention, Second Sister." Chu Li smiled and said, "He is a right-hand man and will be of great help in the future."
"...Okay, I'll pay attention." Xiao Shi nodded, understanding.
——
When Chu Li returned to a few huts on the mountainside, it was already dark.
Lu Jun was not there, only Song Zhifan was practicing. Seeing Chu Li appear, he nodded and continued practicing.
Chu Li stepped forward and clasped his fists in salute: "Leader, the news hasn't been spread yet. It seems that he plans to hide it completely."
"Well, that means Chu Li has a guilty conscience." Song Zhifan said, "It doesn't matter."
Chu Li said helplessly: "This matter should be done in public. I did it secretly, but it was self-defeating."
"It's not your fault for this matter." Song Zhifan shook his head: "It's inappropriate to do it in public. You did a good job."
If the three masters of Tianwaitian in the Duke's Palace were really eliminated, and they were under a sneak attack and kept silent, forcing the Duke's Palace to conceal the news, then it means that Baili Na did an excellent job and had the right sense of proportion.
Lu Jun strode back, glanced at Chu Li and snorted, then came to Song Zhifan and saluted: "Master, I have found out that it is true that the Duke's mansion has abolished three guards."
"Oh, did you find out?" Song Zhifan said.
Lu Jun nodded.
Chu Li was surprised: "How did you find out? I didn't get any information."
"Hey, Baili, there are times when you are not as good as me!" Lu Jun said proudly: "It's actually very simple. I bribed a guard of the Duke's palace to secretly spread the news."
"It's not easy to bribe the guards of the Duke's Mansion!" Chu Li shook his head disapprovingly, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How did you do it?"
"It depends on how much money you can spend." Lu Jun curled his lips.
Chu Li said: "It doesn't matter how much money you have, right? The guards of the Duke's palace are not short of money."
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Lu Jun said.
Chu Li's eyes widened, and he finally shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm ashamed of myself!"
Lu Jun said proudly: "There is no one you can't bribe, it just depends on how much money you have!"
Chu Li sighed: "Such a message costs ten thousand silver, it's really..."
He kept shaking his head.
Lu Jundao: "Look at how angry you are, we are the Immortality Cult and we are never short of money!"
"Okay, Xiao Lu." Song Zhifan said, "You did a good job."
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Jun held his head high and looked at Chu Li triumphantly.
The three of them were talking when footsteps sounded.
A tall old man with a purple face floated over, stood behind the fence, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "But the leader of the Immortality Sect, Song?"
Song Zhifan said: "Exactly."
"I'm guarding Zheng Meng at the Duke's Mansion in Xiayi. I'm here to deliver a message on the order of the general manager!" The purple-faced old man took out a large invitation card from his arms, flicked it, and floated slowly to Song Zhifan.
Chu Li stepped forward to take it, shook it gently, then turned around and handed it to Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan nodded with satisfaction, making Lu Jun curse inwardly, this old guy is really quick.
Song Zhifan opened the invitation, took a look at it, and said calmly: "Okay, I agreed, and I just said that I would come back for advice in a month!"
"Yes." Zheng Meng cupped his fists and saluted.
He turned around and looked at Chu Li: "Is this Baili Na who injured our guard?"
Chu Li clasped his fists: "That's me."
"Very good." Zheng Meng nodded slowly and said, "The Duke's office will remember the gift."
He looked at Lu Jun again and said calmly: "Is this Mr. Lu who used 10,000 taels of silver to bribe our guards and buy some information?"
"...Hmph." Lu Jun's face darkened.
Zheng Meng nodded: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your money. The guard reported in advance and was ordered to reveal the news to you. People in our Duke's Mansion are not so easy to bribe. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, not giving Song Zhifan a chance to have an attack.
Chu Li stared at Zheng Meng's retreating back with a solemn expression.
Lu Jun's handsome face turned red, he glared at Zheng Meng's back angrily, and said angrily: "Leader, take him down?"
"If the two countries are at war, the envoys will be killed." Song Zhifan shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to it."
"It's simply hateful!" Lu Jun slapped his palm on the stone table with hatred.
"Bang!" A crack appeared on the stone table.
Chu Li snorted: "Why are you taking advantage of my table to vent your anger on me!"
Lu Jun glared at him: "You must be very proud, right? Your surname is Baili?"
Chu Li looked at Song Zhifan: "Leader, Chu Li's invitation?"
"War letter." Song Zhifan shook his head and said with a smile: "He is going to use a delaying strategy. When he ends his retreat in a month, there will be a showdown. If he loses, he will return the Heaven-Killing Sword. If he wins, he will not return the Heaven-Killing Sword.
"
Chu Lidao: "Cult Leader, is there anything important about this Heaven-Slaying Sword? The Cult Leader values it so much?"
Lu Jun hummed: "This is the sword of our ancestors!"
Chu Li shook his head and said: "The leader is so wise and powerful, how could he go to war just because his ancestors were wearing swords? There must be some hidden agenda, right?"
He had a curious look on his face without hiding it at all. Only in this way could he hide the truth from Song Zhifan.
Song Zhifan threw the battle card on the stone table and said calmly: "This sword is indeed of great importance."
"Is there any secret?" Chu Li asked curiously: "Or is there some magical skill hidden in it?"
"Haha..." Song Zhifan laughed: "You are thinking too much."
Chu Li looked extremely curious: "Please ask the leader to clarify my doubts!"
"It's okay to tell you." Song Zhifan said: "This sword is a divine sword forged by our ancestors. Others cannot display its power. In Chu Li's hands, it will be a waste of resources. It is better to hold it in my hand."
